A man was carjacked at gunpoint at the drive-through window of a Castle Hills Jack in the Box early today.

Castle Hills police Detective Paul Turner said the victim was at the restaurant on Northwest Military Highway near Lockhill Selma Road about 1 a.m. when a man with a shotgun ordered him to hand over his money and get out of the car.

The gunman took the man's wallet and drove away in the victim's 2007 Pontiac.

About an hour later, San Antonio police spotted the car at Laredo and Zarzamora streets on the West Side, KSAT-TV said.

An officer stopped the car, but the driver ran away. Using search dogs, police found him hiding in a shed and arrested him, WOAI-TV said.

Turner said police likely will seek a search warrant for his home to look for the weapon used in the carjacking.

Turner declined to name the suspect, citing the ongoing investigation. He said the man would be identified once the warrant is obtained.
